This is a little editorial piece Penelope Dullaghan did a while back for Park City Magazine, art directed by Thomas Cobb (a great guy to work with!). The article was about a family friendly bike cruiser ride where the neighborhood sets up a big festival around it. Street BBQs, musicians, local food. Sounds fun!
New editorial work for Dance Magazine by Penelope Dullaghan. The story was about dancers with day jobs. Kind of fun thinking of concepts for this one. The diner holds immediate recognition though, so the art director went with that one.

“Wind Waker Link is one of my favorites but a little too obvious for me to do (and his costume’s not as fun) comments Meg Hunt, so I’ve been trying to come up with a good mix between the child and adult Link styles. Also because I haven’t played as much of the adult Link games. Been reading a ton of the Zelda wikis and trying to remember everything I’ve ever learned about the whole franchise!”
We are honored to be selected by the staff of Alternative Pick for the Editor’s Choice Award for 2011. There is so such wonderful talents in Alternative Pick and we’re just pleased to be part of the success.
Congratulations to everyone!

It’s been nearly a year since Von Glitschka helped shoot a documentary in the slums surrounding Nairobi Kenya. You will see why his emotions are still very raw concerning the whole experience.
Von was part of a great team of people led by his good friend and fellow designer Justin Ahrens and the two weeks we spent interacting with the people in Nairobi are as vivid as ever. He’ll always be thankful for Justin pushing him out of my comfort zone and inviting Von on what turned out to be a life changing adventure.
The documentary “This is My Normal.” is playing in different areas of the country. Von commented, “I’m so proud about how the final film turned out and that says a lot about the director Brian McDonald of Wonderkind Studios and of course the brain child that is Rule29.”
Justin asked Von to create the linear titles used in the documentary and the titling on the print collateral pieces for “This is My Normal” poster and DVD cover. They’re also creating some other content not yet finished that further document the whole experience. Von closed by saying, “Like any good production it’s been a honor to collaborate with creative people who set the bar very high.”
“This is My Normal” is a sobering documentary exploring two primary questions, “What is poverty?” and “What is normal for the world’s poor?”, through the stories and imagery from the slums in Nairobi, Kenya.
Our very own Mikey Burton took a trip to Portland to accept his honor,“Mikey Burton Week” an official national holiday plus to hang with the Friends of Graphic Design from Portland State University! Mikey came to talk to students about their work, shared his process of his thesis project during Show & Tell, and hosted an all day mark making workshop where students created an *almost* portfolio ready logo in one day.
The challenge of the Mark Making workshop was to create a thoughtful, meaningful mark through the process of brainstorming and sketching within one day. The assignment was to create a mark for a festival for a randomly drawn city and festival type. Some examples include New Orleans Sandwiches, DC Doughnuts, Honolulu Comic Festival and other crazy festival concoctions.
Check out the process and results!!

Penfield Children’s Center invited Penelope Dullaghan to do a poster this year for their annual Croquet Ball. Past poster illustrators have included Chris Buzelli, Chris Neal, Sam Weber, Josh Cochran, Red Nose Studio and James Jean. You can see a few here. And a few more here. Each year, artists are commissioned from around the world to bring their unique vision to the event’s promotional posters. The caliber of talent is widespread, from international artists to local students at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, and each artist brings a distinct perspective and enviable talent to the continuing theme of “Make an Impact. Have an Impact.” The donated illustrations are auctioned off at the event.
Penelope concludes, “I was honored to be a part.”
